Watch The Emotional Moment This Missing Pit Bull Reunites With Her Owner

The reaction is adorable.

A Texas family received the best gift this month when their dog, Blue, was returned to them after a long eight months apart. The then 3-month-old pit bull was taken from their backyard last May, and the owner searched for her for weeks to no avail. Just when she thought there was no hope left of ever seeing her vanished pooch, she answered a phone call that changed everything.

Two weeks ago, Blue was left at an animal shelter in Indiana, more than 1,000 miles away from her home. After accessing info from the microchip found in the canine, workers there were able to determine to whom she belonged, and gave the owner a call.

When the woman saw her dog for the first time in months she burst into tears. The loving owner said, "They just don't know how much it means to me to have her back. I just thought I'd never get her back."

Blue and her mom hugged and kissed, looking thrilled to be together again. Though the dog's caretaker knows that she will likely never know what happened to her pet, she says that is all behind them. To her, the most important part is that she is reunited with her dog.
